Elite breakfast sandwiches. The staff is very friendly. The coffee is great! There seemed to be lots of locals in. It can seem a bit crowded but I think it's worth the wait if you're on the run and want to pick up some to go. Try it. read more

After multiple days of hotel complimentary breakfast, we were ready for something new and came across this wonderful local little dive. My son and I love bacon, egg, and cheese, and Jive Cafe knows how to do it right. The bagel was crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, it was also the ideal thickness. My husband ordered the Ruben Egg and it was delicious, the corn beef was tender, and the tangy sauerkraut and dressing made it come together for an explosion of flavor (his words exactly, lol). It is a small little dive with a local family feel. The service was quick and staff were very friendly! read more

We've been there twice this year and I am still happy with this place. The food is made right there and so very delicious. They have a variety of tasty sandwiches, I have tried the tuna melt, the French dip and the Maz. All mouth watering. The ladies who take care of this establishment are very kind and helpful. It's a small place but the way they have setup the seating area makes it feel roomy. They serve breakfast and lunch and are closed by 3. read more

My son and I both loved out breakfast sandwiches. Got the rueben & egg (unreal) as well as a bacon, egg & cheese. Great little dive! read more

Where's the sauerkraut and Russian dressing in your Reuben? Why are the drinks served in plastic? Paper plates? Really?

Terrible customer service . Price high. Food is mediocre and ingredients not fresh . Inconvenient hours.

We really enjoyed our breakfast here! Great and friendly customer service along with tasty food where it is clear they appreciate both their 'regular' customers, greeting them by name, and first timers like us. Highly recommend the egg breakfast sandwiches on ciabatta! read more

So much more than a coffee house! Jive Cafe Coffee House was located steps from our hotel in Cooperstown. We had gotten up too late for breakfast at the Best Western so we were lucky to have Jive close by. Jive has a homey but cheery atmosphere. The place is not fancy but there is plenty of seating. They sell the art that is on the walls and there is a huge collection of baseball pins on the back wall. Hey, you are in Cooperstown! My boys ordered sandwiches, a Chicken Pesto Wrap for 12 year old and a Tuna Melt for 13 year old. Husband and I ordered omelets: Ham and a cheese for him and Veggie Omelet for me. All of the items were very large and tasty. 12 year old and I also got Mocha Ives coffees. It was not the strongest coffee I have had, but they do use Ghiradelli chocolate. Ext time I would go for the latte. The staff was so sweet and friendly. Jive Cafe Coffee House was just the type of place you would hope to find in a small town! read more

Absolutely amazing. Handmade food. Health conscious. Friendly environment. Good coffee.

Good eats. Quick and efficient when we had to get to the fields for a game. Wife loved the coffee drink too.

Omelets and pancakes were perfect and delicious. Very fresh veggies used in omelets. Toast was great, coffees and latte were delicious. Oh, and finally, their prices are more than reasonable. I'm very happy we stopped here. read more

Sneaky good breakfast spot. I found myself returning day after day. My kids liked it too so it was a win/win.

Jive Cafe is a delightful spot in The Commons Plaza Rt 28. Surrounded by chain eateries, you will be pleasantly surprised by the Jive menu and options. Step up to the counter and place your order, I selected the French Dip ($8.50): house roasted beef, New York state extra sharp cheddar on a ciabatta roll - served with fresh au jus for dipping. My companion chose the Reuben sandwich ($8.50): CHOICE of (1) meat: [corned beef / turkey] & sauerkraut, Swiss & Russian dressing on rye. The time from order to food coming out was approximately 10 minutes, fast enough for our allotted lunch time. Both sandwiches were very good, with ample amounts of meat. The dishes also include chips and a pickle. There are a variety of drinks and some deserts. There is seating available with a mix of tables and counter areas. The decor could use some updating but it is pleasant. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Jive Cafe. read more
